Huh? I must have missed that memo.

I've found that it's typically the PM that does the PA's.... or it goes to whoever thinks of it first (if anyone even does...). On the IFE equipped planes myself and most guys I fly with keep PA's to an absolute minimum.

The chime switch and seat belt sign are typically the CA's, which makes sense.

Maybe they don't trust Mr. Complainsalot to say something nice over the PA.

As a newhire on a "south" airplane in a "north" base I have flown with a good mix of "north" and "south" guys. I can confirm the difference. When I fly with "south" captains, they often make the enroute and descent PA. My OE as well as first couple trips off OE were south guys, so then when I flew with "north" captains I had to be reminded to do the PA and in actuality I was a little confused for awhile as to what the norm is. Now I just make the PA any time I am PM unless they beat me to it.

Sooooooooooo for all you Mac Animals out there, what all do I need/more importantly want for my new toy. I'm getting iWorks and I'll download firefox for getting into company stuff, but what else.

You'll find 1Password at agilebits.com and Dropbox at Dropbox.com extremely useful. Other than that, iWorks is all I've needed for years. iLife might be in order if you're creative, but the App store lets you selectively download any additional programs you might want like iPhoto, games, etc.

Don't bother with the Windows stuff; totally unnecessary.

DO NOT use Firefox 4; download 3.6.17. I haven't heard if they fixed version 4 yet.

I had a captain almost wet himself he was laughing so hard. The last passenger got off the plane and said, "great flight supertrooper!"
